Lattice Poinsettia card

I had a dinner date with some of my hostesses who have been in my club for 6 of my 8 years the other evening and we had a card swap. This was my card swap and I just love adding the Lattice die over DSP. I also love that 5 Petal Punch and how versatile it is, here I used it to make a poinsettia. LOVE those Glimmer Brads too! Next up.....sneak peaks from the NEW OCASSIONS MINI and SAB!

Snow Burst Mittens

I just LOVE shaped cards and mittens are my downfall for winter. I had so much fun creating these for some special people. I can't get enough of the little jingle bells.....anyway, I am doing good just to post pictures these last few crazy days ....so I won't have a supply list with this...sorry!

Scallop Square Candy Bar Holder

So, last night, I was invited to a Ladies Night Out Christmas party to present them a project that would take 30-45 minutes to complete. I saw this idea on Barbara Welch's blog last year and thought this would be a fun and quick thing for them to make. There was 9 ladies total there and about half had NEVER crafted with stamps before...I think I could get them hooked as 3 want to attend card nights, one suggested that I put together a "project night", and one said her daughter might like to host a workshop. I SURE hope they enjoyed it as much as I think they did, because they made me feel like I was a SUPERHERO!

Jolliest Time of Year

I am still so busy with craft goodies for customers that I am still revisiting some of my cards from last year...I love the simplicity of this card, I believe we did at card class. Anyway, sorry for the "mediocre" posts lately, tis' the Season!

More TP inspiration/Got Treats?

Okay, so these were craft fair items from last year, and I have to apologize that I have NOT been getting much done these last couple of weeks due to starting some part time work and working on upcoming classes, it's kept me all so busy. I just wanted to re-visit some Christmas stuff from last year to give the ideas for gift giving, etc. I will making these for Jenna's preschool class this year, since I had such an overwhelming response to my TP roll collecting from so many people...I even had them leaving them at the front door and have NO idea who they came from! LOL

Stitched Stockings Baby Cardigan Tag

So I recently just finished one of my product based stamp classes and for those who signed up and pre-purchased the Stitched Stockings stamp set and punch from me got to make 2 "bonus" out of the box projects at the class. They didn't get to see them until the class. Here is one of them that I came up with. I punched out two stockings and had them run them through the Big Shot and Perfect Polka Dots folder (remembering to face them away from each other to ensure the texture on the same sides), then cut off the toes, glued them together just over the edges and added the pearls and I bought these little hangers a long time ago and thought these would be cute to use on this tag. I then stamped Welcome Baby from Petite Pairs stamp set.

Christmas Door

I made this card for a card magazine submission and it didn't get picked. I had so much fun making it though.
